If you try this mixture, do let me know what you think.

It is actually the split version of a pigeon pea, and you can easily find dried toor dal in any Indian or Asian grocer (and in many large regular supermarkets as well).

Sold dry or coated in castor oil, toor dal should be rinsed and soaked in hot water for at least 2 hours before cooking, after which it cooks quickly.
